I dont get it No one said marines were OP before he made them OP. Most people were complaining about marauders. He changed the TvZ matchup completely. He popularized the 2 rax build. He got 2nd place 4 times in GSL. A lot of people said marines were good before him, they have insane dps and efficency, and how did he change TvZ ? Dont terran do marine/tank/medivacs anymore ? Watch Kyrix vs MKP from Open Season 2, as well as their matches against other opponents.
That series revolutionized TvZ forever.

I dont get it obviously if someone manages to get so many 2nd places he's terrible and doesnt deserve to win anything, right? Where do you see him saying he was terrible and didn't deserve to win things? Seriously, grow up.
yea you're right. still i dont understand how can anyone have that attitude towards mkp

So that would be a yes to 'do people feel sorry for him'
I admit he's one of the better T's and doesn't belong in with Polts designated 'doesnt deserve CodeS' group but in my eyes there's nothing about him which says to me he deserves it more than say Bomber or MMA
edit: by 'it' I mean a win

Too bad we don't see the players. I want to see MKP emotion after winning : D

I dont get it
How can't you like him? He got into GSL Open 2 from nowhere. And after a very scrappy first round, he picked himself up and beat Kyrix in an amazing matter, he beat both GSL Open 1 finalists on his way to give Nestea the scare of his life, being the only player to take a game of him and ending the finals at 4-3 in Nestea's favour. He changed the complete matchup in that tournament.
In GSL Jan, he showed of that Marines worked in TvT as well. The match against NaDa comes to mind.
He just delivers great matches time and time again.
He wears his heart on his sleeve and the Kong line helps him to get some popularity as well.
He just won me over at the start I guess

Watch his games from GSL2, specifically against Kyrix. He was the first one to really do marine splitting and make them work against banelings.

Hmm....i guess that explains why some people dont get why people like MKP, they obviously dont know much about the game.
Here's a hint about using marines: you gotta micro them.
I know it sounds obvious, but no one really does that before MKP appeared....

No that's not it. Did you rly not watched GSL2 ?

MKP is cool but it's just funny to say he's always going to get 2nd.

I dont get it You poor bastard. You missed GSL2. It's not your fault, it was a busy time in all our lives. Go buy GSL season 2. Start watching the player known then as "Boxer". Note the rage, Artosis HATES him. Watch him kill the former champion fruitdealer... then watch the exact moment when rage turns to admiration as Foxer shows terran how to micro in what is STILL one of the best GSL series to date (MKP vs Kyrix). Think he can only do that TvZ? Watch the next series.
Beat me to it. I know I wasn't the only person who was converted to, and remains, a MKP fan after his series against Kyrix in GSL2.
The most recent example of a flash of brilliance from MKP that I can recall was game 4 against Leenock in GSL August... I know the majority of his play seems uninspiring, but games like that keep me hooked into MarineKing.

Seriously, no one else with a lagging/buffering stream?

The into GSL Open 2 'from nowhere' thing made me laugh. Not only were half (guess) the qualifiers new, he played BW (and not very well [relatively])

edit: by 'it' I mean a win sometimes people don't support players because they are the best players, notice how there are fans for foreigners when they are actually no where near as good as mvp and nestea, seriously grow the hell up.

Marineking? More like Hellionking

I don't understand people who don't understand why other people are fans of a player.

Holy shit DRG, why don't you make 3 roaches. Really going to lose this series out of stubbornness?
And people say Idra is bad with going on tilt O_O

So... reading comprehension is something you struggle with?
Again. Watch even just game one and five against Kyrix in GSL2. Or, alternatively, accept that that series showed what was at the time the best micro of any terran, and truly revolutionized TvZ. Prior to that, banelings were thought to be THE counter to marines. MKP begged to differ.
